I am new to mudlet. So far I have liked everything I have used in it, which is not all that much mind you. I wanted to try out making a map but after googling a bunch, searching the forums, nowhere can I find an explanation of how you add a new area. There is no button in the map window, and the area drop down selector is empty. Where is the add area button?
I saw something aobut a script command to create areas but I was hoping there was a way to do it via the gui. I haven't really devled into the scripting yet. If the only way is to do it via scripting, I haven't seen a scripting console where your commands don't go to the mud but go to the scripting engine instead. Is there such a thing?
Creating maps
Re: Creating maps
1. There's no need for a scripting console. Make a simple alias such as:
new alias name: create new area (useage: na <area name>)
pattern:^na (.*)
script:
local name = matches[2]
local areaID = addAreaName( name )
echo("created new area: ID:".. areaID .." name:" .. name .. "\n")
